Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning in Stafford, TX
HVAC cleaning in Stafford typically runs $380-$620 for a complete system, with air quality and sanitizing work adding $240-$480 depending on contamination level. Most Stafford homes we see need more than a surface vacuum - the combination of 1970s-1990s flex-duct aging, post-Harvey moisture history, and Gulf Coast humidity means the full system usually requires attention. Call CleanRun at (346) 251-8919 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Stafford Homes Are Different
Stafford sits low in the Oyster Creek and Brays Bayou drainage basin, and that position mattered when Hurricane Harvey dropped record rainfall in 2017. Floodwater introduced moisture into duct systems across the city, and the persistent humidity - routinely above 70-80% - kept those systems wet long enough for microbial growth to establish. We’re still called to homes where the flex duct was never properly remediated after that event.
The housing stock compounds this. Most residential neighborhoods - from the ranch homes near Staffordshire Road to the patio-home clusters off Murphy Road - were built between the 1970s and 1990s with flexible duct routed through unconditioned attics. Those attics hit 140°F in July and August. The inner liner degrades. The insulation jacket tears. Debris accumulates in the collapsed sections. Cleaning these systems requires equipment that can handle restricted airflow and fragile duct walls, not a standard vacuum attachment.
Stafford’s commercial corridor along US-90A adds another dimension. Rooftop package units serving strip-mall suites often contain years of accumulated fiberglass fiber, pest debris, and mold in shared return plenums - the consequence of high tenant turnover and landlord assumptions about maintenance responsibility. Our crews move between residential flex-duct and commercial rooftop units in the same day.
Our Main Stafford Services
Stafford homeowners call us most often for these three services:
Air Duct Cleaning in Stafford
We clean the full duct network - supply runs, return plenums, and registers - using negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. In Stafford, we photograph collapsed flex-duct sections and moisture staining as standard documentation, since the 1970s-1990s housing stock shows these conditions routinely. Every job concludes with a Air Duct Cleaning in Stafford photo record delivered to the customer.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Stafford
Dryer vent blockages in Stafford often contain lint compounded with Gulf Coast pollen and humidity-caked debris. We remove the full obstruction with rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools, then verify airflow with a calibrated meter. The Dryer Vent Cleaning in Stafford service includes a written scope and photo documentation of the vent interior before and after.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Stafford
When flex-duct inner liners collapse or insulation jackets tear - common in Stafford’s unconditioned attics - cleaning alone won’t restore performance. We replace damaged sections with new flex duct or rigid metal where appropriate, then seal all joints with mastic. The Duct Repair & Sealing in Stafford work is photographed and priced in writing before any panel comes off.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Stafford
Stafford’s aging flex-duct systems and post-flood moisture history mean HVAC components accumulate debris that standard filter changes never reach. The evaporator coil, blower assembly, and air handler cabinet all operate in the same humid airflow that degrades duct liners. Our HVAC Cleaning service addresses each component with equipment sized for residential systems and the documentation customers can verify.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on the coil, reduced airflow at registers, or a musty odor when the AC cycles on in Stafford’s humid months.
What it costs in Stafford
Evaporator coil cleaning typically ranges $180-$340 in Stafford, depending on accessibility and contamination level.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner formulated for aluminum fins, then rinse with low-pressure water and capture all runoff before it reaches the drain pan.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow between rooms, or dust recirculating immediately after filter replacement.
What it costs in Stafford
Blower motor and wheel cleaning typically ranges $160-$280 in Stafford.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel blades with compressed air and solvent, lubricate bearings per manufacturer spec, and bench-test balance before reinstalling.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Stafford
| Item | Typical range in Stafford |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower cleaning | $160-$280 |
| Full HVAC cleaning (coil + blower + cabinet) | $380-$620 |
How do I know my HVAC system needs cleaning and not just a new filter?
Restricted airflow at multiple registers, ice on the coil, or musty odors that persist after filter replacement indicate debris inside the system, not a filter issue. Call (346) 251-8919 and we’ll inspect with a camera before quoting any work.
Can HVAC cleaning improve my energy bills in Stafford’s climate?
A clean coil and blower move air more efficiently, which reduces runtime in Stafford’s long cooling season; most customers see measurable improvement within one billing cycle. We document before-and-after airflow readings as part of every job.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Stafford
Stafford’s humidity and post-Harvey flood history created conditions where mold and bacteria persist in ductwork even after visible water damage is repaired. The bayou corridors surrounding the city contribute naturally high airborne spore loads that recolonize cleaned surfaces if not properly treated. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service targets microbial contamination with application methods that reach the full duct run, not just accessible registers.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible mold at registers or boots, a persistent earthy odor when the system runs, or documented moisture intrusion history since 2017.
What it costs in Stafford
Mold treatment for a residential duct system typically ranges $320-$580 in Stafford, depending on contamination extent and accessibility.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the full duct network using fogging equipment that reaches behind collapsed flex-duct sections, then verify treatment coverage with UV fluorescence inspection.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated mold recurrence after cleaning, or a system located in a damp crawl space or basement with chronic humidity above 70%.
What it costs in Stafford
UV-C light installation at the coil or supply plenum typically ranges $280-$460 in Stafford, including the lamp and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV-C lamp at the coil surface or supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and show the customer the installation point in the photo record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Stafford
| Item | Typical range in Stafford |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $320-$580 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $240-$420 |
| UV light installation | $280-$460 |
Will mold treatment damage my flex ducts?
Our application method uses controlled-volume fogging, not liquid saturation, which preserves the adhesive bonds in aging flex-duct liners; we inspect liner condition before treatment and document any pre-existing degradation. Call (346) 251-8919 for a written scope before any work begins.
How long does UV light installation take?
Most residential UV installations in Stafford take 90-120 minutes, including mounting, wiring to the blower circuit, and testing; the lamp begins operating immediately and reaches full effectiveness within 24 hours of continuous use.
Brands We Service in Stafford
We stock parts and service equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Rotobrush, and Nikro - brands our Stafford customers can verify independently. Most replacement components are available same-day from our Houston-coordinated inventory. See our brands for full specifications.
